Need a Little Love Potion? You Should Mix Up One of These 8 Decadent Valentine's Day Cocktails Tomorrow Night!

Even if you're just staying in for Valentine's Day tomorrow, there's never anything wrong with an excuse to whip up a delicious cocktail at home, is there? No, no there is not.

And rather than just go for your standard bottle of Pinot or a glass of bubbly (although, nothing wrong with either one of those either), it feels particularly special to make a fancy-pants cocktail with fresh ingredients that looks as good as it tastes.

These aren't just your average sweet Valentine's cocktails either. If a chocolate martini is your thing, go for it--and I've included a yummy-sounding one below--but your guy might not be as into it as you are. Or maybe you're the one without the sweet tooth? Either way, there's a drink for every taste bud, yours and his, here. Below, find 8 recipes ranging from citrus-y to spicy to sweet to....bacon-y. Yes, bacon-y.

Make a lemon twist. Cut lemon in half and juice. Reserve. Measure and combine all ingredients except for lemon twist in Boston Shaker and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. Strain the beverage into a rocks glass over fresh ice.Garnish with lemon twist.

To make ginger syrup: The ginger syrup is simple syrup infused with peeled fresh sliced ginger. To make take 1 cup of ginger (sliced) and add to 4 cups water and 4 cup sugar.

Mix the cinnamon and sugar on a saucer and dip a martini glass (wet the rim) in the mixture. Fill a martini shaker with ice and add the cognac or brandy, SNAP, ginger syrup, and lemon juice. Shake thoroughly to chill, and strain into the rimmed glass.

Cook bacon in the oven until it is crispy on the outsides but still chewy in the center. Place bacon on paper towel to remove some of the rendering. Place cooked bacon in a glass jar with two 750 ml bottles of St-Germain and allow it to infuse for 24 hours at room temperature. Remove bacon. Place liqueur in the freezer so renderings congeal and you can remove them. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and cheese cloth to remove as much rendering as possible. Repeat freezer step if needed and strain again. Refrigerate until ready for use.

Are you inspired to make any of these? Do you have your own cocktail you plan to make?
